Track features about 3 1/2 minutes of introductory information about Stan Freberg with a short clip from one of his most famous early works... followed by the 13th episode from his 1957 CBS Radio comedy series that ran for only 15 episodes before it was taken off the air. Stan did not smoke and objected to cigarette companies sponsoring the show and he often parodied advertising and commercialism, which did not set well with the show's limited sponsors... so CBS cancelled the show after 15 episodes. This show features a skit centered on teaching listeners "All About Werewolves" Listen here, Itunes or Google Play Music by searching Podcasts for "Heirloom Radio".

The NBC Blue Network (later to become ABC), as a summer radio series presented "Streamlined Shakespeare" in 1937. It was a string of several Shakespeare plays adapted for radio. This track is the comedy "The Taming of the Shrew" (written between 1564-1616) The program is introduced by the iconic film star "John Barrymore" (in photo with daughter, Diana) who also plays Petruchio in the story. Katherina is played by Elaine Barrie and Lucentio by Hans Conried. Henry Hunter and Miles Mander are also performers in this play. This was a critically acclaimed production and given that it was recorded 83 years ago, it is in remarkably good condition. A chance to here Drew Barrymore's grandfather... he was known for his portrayal of Shakespearean characters, particularly in silent films!

They probably do not need any introduction, but there is a brief one about their history on radio and their comedy in general.... then you will hear a show from February 1, 1945. The show was quite popular for some time, but as they got more and more into movies, it was their physical humor that became more popular... something that radio could not show... Still fun to hear.. fast-paced, slapstick type humor.
